The ports that games like SC/DW use are usually fairly high up the dial and not very useful for hacking.

Opening up a hole in your SW firewall is as simple as creating a rule for SC/DW and shouldn't compromise your security.

Forwarding the SC/DW ports to your computer only exposes your computer to risk when you have them open, which you can control each time you decide to do MP or close them when you are not playing.

All in all, other than the setup time, setting up a router/SW firewall for gaming doesn't have many downsides in terms of security. The only time it does it when the games you are playing themselves have security holes.

1) how do i get to these ports
2) how do i open close em
3) where is the port control thingy
4) help

LuftWolf · 08-18-05, 07:39 AM

1) SC/DW should have a section somewhere about MP setup, where the ports should be listed.

2) You need to access your router's internal configuration. Find the "Port Forwarding Table." Then you enter the ports you need into the table, and tell them to forward them to your computer's internal IP address.

3) In your router's internal configuration.

4) Send me a PM with your email. I am not a MPlayer for DW so I haven't done this myself, but I might decide to play online now that I am committing myself here more and more. :hmm:

I may decide to set this up for myself in the next day or two just for the fun of it. Send me a PM, I'll get back to you soon.

LuftWolf & Kapitain please keep me in the loop here I am not far from strating this proceedure.

Both of you (I think) have my email address. The lure of MP is drawing me back.

:rotfl: Its like the jungle tribes they go so long on a veg. diet then they just got to have meat. My nose is twitching the air right now.

LuftWolf · 08-18-05, 08:45 AM

I PMed Kap and told him that I would work on setting it on my rig and then I would email him, and you too, about how to do it. Once I've figured it out on my system (should be more or less the same as what I had to do for Combat Mission), it should be fairly straightforward adopting the procedure for your systems. I'll let you both know in a day or so!

Kapitan · 08-18-05, 08:46 AM

bellman send me your email kinda mislayed it lol

Kapitan · 08-18-05, 08:48 AM

LuftWolf · 08-23-05, 02:38 PM

Kapitain and Bellman,

I am going to look into the MP stuff in the next day or so. I've been really busy.

Kapitan · 08-23-05, 05:52 PM

LuftWolf · 08-23-05, 07:19 PM
